A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Conspiracy of Silence (Tox Files #1) - Ronie Kendig

There’s a prequel that goes with this series called The Warrior’s Seal.  This is the first full-length novel.  The second one is called Crown of Souls and is due out sometime in 2017.

Tox “Cole” has been in hiding for three years.  If you want to know what led up to that isolation, make sure to read The Warrior’s Seal.  A threat has brought him out of hiding and back into the life of his brother, the president.  Now Tox is under orders to take a team and eliminate a threat.  He insists on his team, who believes he’s dead.  When they find out he’s not, Tox has to earn their trust all over again.

Kasey “Haven” has admired Cole from afar for as long as she can remember.  But he’s only ever seen her as the little sister of Brooke, Cole’s one time girlfriend, and his brother’s late wife.  Kasey never believed in Cole’s guilt and is committed to proving his innocence.  Cole's pardon is in her hands, but the deal is that she doesn’t reveal who she really is.

Cole senses immediately that there’s something familiar about this woman, but it takes him a while to figure it out.  In the meantime, Tzivia is still around, and Kasey has an admirer of her own trailing after her.  Tzivia was on a dig where she believes she’s found evidence of a major Biblical event.  There are dangerous people after these artifacts, and it seems there’s another deadly disease associated with the artifacts.

I really liked this one.  I was a bit wary of the addition of the supernatural threats, but they aren’t inserted in a weird way.  With the AFO still on the loose at the end of this one, it looks like you need to read them all and in order to understand the whole picture.  Normally, I don’t read series like this, but this author has a great style and I gladly break my rule for her books.  The end was a real page-turner, and I was getting nervous when I saw I was close to the end and didn’t know how things would ever get figured out that fast.  I was happy at the end and look forward to Crown of Souls.  Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from Bethany House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
